Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden
Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, som erkändes som den äldsta botaniska trädgården på södra halvklotet, byggdes 1770 och sträcker sig över cirka 37 hektar mark. Parken är känd för sin massiva damm av jätte näckrosor, medan dess frodiga trädgårdar inkluderar arter som ebenholts träd och sockerrör som fungerar som en påminnelse om landets koloniala influenser, såväl som växter från Centralamerika, Asien och Afrika. Besökare säger att den stora variationen av växtarter gör Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden värt besöket men de flesta är överens om att grunderna behöver lite uppdatering.

Pamplemousses
The basics
Located in Pamplemousses, near Port Louis, Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, also known as the Pamplemousses Botanic Garden, was formally named after the first prime minister of Mauritius in 1988 following his death. The sheer variety of plant species, including ones from Central America, Asia, and Africa, make the garden interesting, but the grounds aren't always well-tended. For a deeper understanding, visit with a local guide.
